But I have a fractured rib or something...so I am spending more time in the house and just watched a biscotti making video from 2011 of Nonna Pia, making Almond Biscotti. Such a sweet little old lady of 89 years. .... using all the mod cons...and showing us how she does it.

I have never made biscotti quite this way and certainly never had soft, almost cake-batter-like dough. But I tried it and I really like the look of it when it is finished. Looks so rustic. All lumpy and a bit browned on the very tops of the bumps of course...

Welcome to my second blog....

I make collector bears and dolls...but, also like to cook and bake. Originally I had thought I would put recipes and kitchen tips in my first blog...which is bear, doll and craft related...but decided to begin a second one and use it strictly for that purpose. There will be more than plenty to put in here as well.
